New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, once a figure of contention among leaders from both major political parties, has seen a remarkable surge in his political standing just six months into office.
The 34-year-old democratic socialist, a prominent figure on the progressive left, has garnered unexpected praise from both Donald Trump and New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
He has also emerged as the face of the region’s sports renaissance. Now, days before New York’s primary elections,
No, the system never ever improved by voting. It only ever improved in response to fear of revolution, and any “improvement” through voting was nothing more than a temporary concession, Britain used to be the face of social democracy then Thatcher came and since then standard of living has been constantly getting lower, Obama brought Obama care(which was absolutely not enough) because Occupy wallstreet happened, then trump came and gutted it. You can’t change and improve a system that’s built to keep you down, by working from inside of it
As I said. Denying history.
When has ever long lasting improvement came from voting then?
14th amendment ring any bells?
19th amendment?
24th?
You think these changes came just from magic? No, they came from concentrated work of activist groups, and that strongly includes elections. You underestimate the effect of pushing people into elections that are sympathetic to the causes, even if it’s not too many.
These were results of constant battles and fighting until the ruling class was forced to give concessions.
Yeah sure buddy. Sure the voting meant nothing. Sure.
Occupy Wall Street: 2011
Obamacare: 2010
